Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 3^-5. Collins begins with Chavez as a child growing up in a migrant worker environment and goes on to detail the dedicated activist's notable career in the movement to achieve better working conditions for Mexican farm laborers in California and elsewhere. Set against the backdrop of turbulent times, aspects of Chavez' personal life are smoothly blended with his continued struggles to improve the plight of his fellow man. The book is enriched by black-and-white photographs and authenticated by the inclusion of a notes section providing additional information on incidents mentioned in the text. An extensive bibliography (from which all the quotes appearing in the book were taken) is appended. April Judge

Excellent book for young readers,

This review is from: Farmworker's Friend: The Story of Cesar Chavez (Trailblazer Biographies) (Paperback)
This is a fantastic biography of Cesar Chavez, written for young readers. You don't get this kind of progressive history telling in traditional textbooks. This is a perfect supplement for your history class, for home school, or for your child's research project.
